Surviving Life as a Woman of the Medieval Crusades...

[@sdb9884]

“Womanly things like knitting and being oppressed” 😅

[@Kathy_1991]

That line really made me laugh! I'm glad someone else appreciated it too 😄

[@koriw1701]

Me three! This channel is very informative while also tongue-in-cheek!🤣

[@emilien.]

In a previous life I was a lice-picker in the Third Crusade. Actually I only got as far as Cannes where I surreptisiouisly deserted to take in the film festival.

[@RIPvizzini]

Damn some wars really are so stupid

Finding a historical period where a woman's life wasn't a misery: impossible.

​​@@peterwarner553Sure but some lives are more miserable then others, tho I'm sure protected and noble ladies with good parents and husband's ( it is not impossible even in thar time) had better then other women and most regular men.

[@emilien.]

The late Terry Jones of Monty Python was a serious scholar of medieval lives and has a great series on this. You'll find it balanced and directed towards the misery of both men and women. PS 3 hours later: Let me be clear -- nothing can rival Medieval Madness, though!🏆

“Did womanly things such as knitting and being oppressed.” 😂😂😂 I couldn’t have said it any better!

[@wordytoed9887]

This video’s release and the fact that I FINALLY just caught up on The French History Podcast hosted by Gary Girod (I can’t believe I have to wait two weeks between releases now) is crazy. The Crusades are truly interesting to learn about. The Church, its goals, its endeavors, its impact on all of society is unlike anything else, IMO. History is amazing. Thanks for shedding some more light on it, Medieval Madness. As you old redcoats say, “Cheers!” Love from the mitten state.

[@grapeshot]

Yeah I just read about Richard the Lionheart when he was having his coronation banquet since it was a crusading affair no women or Jews were allowed to attend.

[@yeyeman6569]

Could you make a video about the ancient persian islamic or zoroastrian period?

[@babyramses5066]

Ooh yes 😍

[@dearbrad1996]

They could make a great movie on Eleanor of Aquitaine

[@leightonolsson4846]

They did. It's called 'The Lion In Winter"

[@jandrews6254]

Married to the king of France, but no sons only two daughters, so she was divorced. Then found herself married to the king of England with whom she had a large number of children, including Richard the lion heart. Sux to be you Louis!

[@kellyshomemadekitchen]

10:16 wow, Eleanor of Aquitaine is on my family tree, but I had no idea she actually led a Crusade!

[@h0rriphic]

Eleanor of Aquitaine didn’t “[lead] a crusade” she accompanied her husband, King Louis VII, on two different campaigns during the Second Crusade…which is still pretty badass. Love Eleanor of Aquitaine- she’s a fascinating person. (Also the time stamp you referenced, OP is actually discussing a totally different person- Margaret of Provence…)

[@kellyshomemadekitchen]

@@h0rriphic Okay, Captain Literal, but according to this narrator, after her husband died she took over his leading of that particular crusade. As to the time stamp, I tried several times to get that during her story but apparently there was a glitch that kept putting it on the lady after her.

[@babyramses5066]

"Eleanor, are you and your Amazons done cosplaying as crusaders yet?" Louis asked in a suspiciously bad French accent. 😂 #drawnofhistory

[@Unicornvomit456]

Please do a video on the daily life of upper class women in medieval times!

[@MatthewTheWanderer]

Why is the map at 1:20 in Finnish?

[@Kazuhiro-i]

3:54 can anyone tell me the name of that woman? I didnt understood the accent im not native speaker XD

[@EnigmaticRPG]

4:47 4:50 10:18 (probably more, I wasn't paying 100% attention) Man, don't use ai art, it looks SO bad. There's enough copyright free stuff from the time period that you don't need to do this...

[@VampiraVonGhoulscout]

I'm trying to take this seriously, but every time you mention Antioch I think of the holy hand grenade from Monty Python and giggle to myself.

[@HerbaceousSW]

Thank you!

That dude in the thumbnail is looking at the woman in his arms, thinking “Damn! She’s got a face like Curly from The Three Stooges, but she fit as hell!”

The Catholics absolutely did not "initiate" the crusades... it was reactionary but now i know how serious i should take your channel.

[@avillageofbigheads]

so not too different then from what woman go through the modern day in rural India. staying oppressed

[@siemniak]

Yes and men still dying in the wars. But they are men so who cares. We can't be oppresed 😂😂

As a women

[@cynhiacations9879]

Holy wars hmmm. Wars are still being fought on religious grounds. When will ppl accept the many religions and live and let live.

[@valentinkambushev4968]

As long as money is involved.

[@sweetbunnybun]

Religious played only a part in it. Soms people also wanted lands and glory or just have some adventure

[@shoulderpyro]

Or better yet - abolish religion entirely. For the Emperor of Mankind!

[@daveanderson3805]

I can't imagine a worse reason to fight and die than in the name of some superstitious belief system.

[@terriwetz6077]

More people have died in religious wars than all other wars combined. It's all so unnecessary. 😢

"Women eh? Can't Crusade with 'em, can't Crusade without 'em!" Great spoof of that very trite sexist trope 😂

[@SetsunaKai5]

The constant whining about misogyny is off putting. Like bro, i can draw my own conclusions that women of this time period didn't enjoy our modern sensibility of a woman's place in society, just tell me about the historical accounts. lol

Near as I can tell, nobody survives life. Your title is not well considered.
